Karl Benz realized the idea of the self-propelled car in 1886 with the "Benzwagen". The "Car No. 1" was the result of years of development work, during which a number of hurdles had to be overcome due to the state of the art at the time. This historical article tells the story of its development and provides a visual insight into the patented motor car.
It is not all too often that you see a car from the "brass era" in its original condition, and it is even rarer to see it in operation. But this can be topped - namely by re-registering such a vehicle for road use. This feat was achieved by the PS.Speicher museum in Einbeck on the initiative of its founder Karl-Heinz Rehkopf. The Benz-Victoria, built in 1894, is now officially Germany's oldest registered vehicle.

But whether they offer real driving pleasure is doubtful. To prove this thesis, this article takes you through the development of the sports car up to the present day and shows many of the cars mentioned in pictures.
